Palmer kept wolves into the mid 1990s[3] and, encouraged by ethologist Erich Klinghammer, founded the UK Wolf Conservation Trust (UKWCT) in 1995.

[5] The wolves are taken for walks most weekends in the open farmland around the Trust,[6] accompanied by members of the public and UKWCT.

Education is a major part of the UKWCT's ethos and they hold regular seminars, with biologists and other speakers giving talks about wolves and current conservation work.

They were imported from Quebec in Canada in March 2011 when a snowstorm destroyed their mother's den, causing her to reject the newborn cubs.

Support has also been provided for the Ethiopian wolf, for other European projects, and for the Red and Mexican wolves in the Americas.
